“If we’re going through hell/We just keep going.” Just when you think King Krule couldn’t sound any more British, he goes and paraphrases Churchill. Easy Easy is downtrodden and disenfranchised as fuck, but there is that tantalising light present at the end of the tunnel. Archy Marshall has shades of the now-defunct WU LYF about his vocals, but the heightened clarity creates a more personable affair. Profound well beyond Marshall’s 19 years.
